I Like Your Pheromones - Chap 68
His voice wasn’t high nor did he sound angry, but the people present could only listen, no one could speak for a while.
Several ladies looked at each other with expressions of astonishment.
After a while Chen Yue belatedly reacted, trying not to break out laughing, he endured, and couldn’t help but sigh in a low voice: “Awesome.”
His mother heard him muttering, and pinched him lightly under the table.
But she herself was quite surprised, and couldn’t help but murmur, “How could…” It be decided so early?
Jiang Yao smiled helplessly when she saw that Lu Xingci had spoken to such an extent.
She raised her hand and brought the champagne glass closer to her mouth. Her eyes passed over the increasingly pale Wei Xuelan and the embarrassed Mrs. Wei next to her, the smile on her lips slowly faded.
Jiang Yao took a sip of champagne expressionlessly.
Seeing that everyone around was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Mrs. Wei could only bite the bullet and say, “When did Xingci have a sweetheart? We haven’t heard of it?”
Jiang Yao saw Mrs. Wei starting to look more and more flustered the longer the he refused to answer, and her expression softened.
She looked at Lu Xingci silently, waiting for him to make a decision.
Lu Xingci and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, then: “It’s been a long time.”
His voice stopped, and he added with a faint smile: “It’s already been almost a year or two, I really haven’t mentioned it to anyone except my family.”
Mrs. Wei let out a sigh of relief when he finally answered.
A lady next to her couldn’t help but interject: “Who is the person that Xingci likes?”
No matter which family’s omega Lu Xingci married, they would be considered high-ranking. For example, Wei Xuelan can only be judged based on status. Even for a distinguished family like hers, the blocks were barely even.
“It’s my classmate.”
As soon as they heard that they were classmates, the ladies present fell into deep thought, and went through all the young masters and young ladies at No. 1 High School in their minds.
But apart from the Chen family and the Zhou family, No. 1 High School didn’t seem to have any other powerful family’s member.
Chen Yue looked at his mother’s face, which looked calm on the surface. But in actuality, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking hard.
Chen Yue said in his heart, that this is the harm of the older generation not being good at surfing the Internet.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had sent a message to Duan Jiayan. Chen Yue hurriedly opened his phone, and sure enough, a series of messages were lined up:
[Chen Yue! ! ! Say it ! ! ! ]
[What’s wrong? ? ! ! ]
…
Duan Jiayan pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion: [Did they fight? ]
The last message was sent a few minutes ago, and after that time period, Duan Jiayan hadn’t looked for him again.
Chen Yue guessed that he went directly to Lu Xing to find out.
Just as he thought of this, Lu Xingci lowered his eyes and looked down at his phone.
Chen Yue saw that his face softened a little, and could instantly tell who he was talking to. Comparing his composed appearance with Wei Xuelan, who could no longer speak a word, Chen Yue silently lit a candle for this young lady in his heart.
Even though they had a good relationship, he knew that anyone who touches Duan Jiayan is bound to meet an accident. Wei Xuelan was really too pitiful, jumping repeatedly on Lu Xingci’s sore spot.
Lu Xingci swiped his phone screen and saw all the messages:
[Chen Yue said you were running wild, what happened to you? ]
[Did you fight? ]
Probably seeing that he didn’t reply for a long time, Duan Jiayan said again:
[Would you like me to come and support you? Professional thugs are always on call, and it should not be a problem to bring down one or two. ]
Lu Xingci couldn’t help but smile.
He whispered to Jiang Yao, “I’ll go make a call.”
After leaving the table, he walked to a place where no one was around and dialed Duan Jiayan’s number.
Duan Jiayan was online when he received a call from Lu Xingci.
Chen Yue had sent him a message before, and he was a little absent-minded when playing games. At this moment, the phone rang, and Duan Jiayan quickly backed out of the gaming queue when he saw the caller ID.
He pressed to answer, and Lu Xingci’s voice came from the other end: “You want to support me?”
Duan Jiayan snorted.
“Didn’t you say no more fighting?”
Hearing the sarcasm in his voice, Duan Jiayan relaxed, and started to blabber some nonsense: “Then I can just come to say Hi. If you end up fighting, then I’ll be right next to you. Wait until they are caught by me. If you’re tired of attacking directly, and want to find another opportunity to get revenge, we can do that too.”
Hei Pi had just came back from the toilet, and he looked at the screen: “Duan Jiayan, why did you quit the game?”
Duan Jiayan reluctantly shifted his attention to him: “I’m on the phone, I’ll re-queue for you.”
Lu Xingci heard their conversation, combined with the noisy environment on his side he guessed: “On the Internet?”
Duan Jiayan hummed.
He was quiet for a while, still feeling that he couldn’t just let it go.
“Hey, Lu Xingci.” Duan Jiayan restrained his teasing and said seriously, “Is someone bullying you?”
Hei Pi was drinking Coke, and when he heard this, he almost choked.
He looked at Duan Jiayan with a look of ‘have you finally gone crazy’ and said: “I found that love can really make people stupid. You think about it, who dares to bully him?”
Duan Jiayan ignored him, he motioned for Hei Pi to be quiet and waited for Lu Xingci to speak.
But the person on the other side of the phone laughed when he heard that he was serious, as if he really couldn’t hold back.
Duan Jiayan: “…”
Duan Jiayan was about to ask ‘what are you laughing at, I am quite serious here.’ when Lu Xingci spoke again.
“My mother bullied me, she teased me to entertain herself.” Lu Xingci joked, “Are you going to help me hold up against her?”
Duan Jiayan was stunned.
No matter what, he didn’t think of this being the case.
He didn’t know much about the grievances in and out of Lu Xingci’s family, but looking at Lu Xingci’s tone, he concluded that it was not a big deal.
Duan Jiayan thought for a while: “This I can’t do, although I really want to help you.”
Duan Jiayan continued: “It can easily lead to family conflicts. After thinking about it, I don’t think I should participate.”
Lu Xingci couldn’t help laughing when he heard him extract himself from the matter so blatantly: “That’s it? You’re leaving me alone like this?”
“That can’t be called leaving you alone.” Duan Jiayan thought for a while: “If you want to cry, I can still lend you a shoulder.”
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment.
Duan Jiayan felt that his comfort really didn’t seem sincere enough, and was thinking about how to comfort him better, when Lu xingci spoke again.
“Okay.” He heard him chuckle softly: “Can I have a hug then?”
The continuous snowfall for the past several days had brought the temperature to the negatives.
The winter night in the north was quiet and cold. Looking out from the dormitory, the roof of the teaching building in the distance was completely white from snow.
Duan Jiayan had just finished taking a shower when Song Yi entered the room from the balcony, where the cold wind was blowing. He looked down at his phone, and raised his head when he heard footsteps: “Shen Chilie wants to play tomorrow, will you go?”
Duan Jiayan took outca coat and said, “I’ll go to check my glands tomorrow.”
Song Yi jumped up from the bed: “You..! What do you want to do?!”
Duan Jiayan glanced at him: “Check the glands?”
Duan Jiayan’s birthday was approaching, and he was going to get it checked at this time, no matter how he thought about it….
Song Yi was so excited that he fell back on the bed: “Duan jiayan, you don’t want to break the law, so you’re waiting till the age of 18, right? Is your estrus period also in the coming few days?”
Duan Jiayan: “…”
Duan Jiayan: “Checking the glands doesn’t mean I want to do it. I can’t check for the sake of my health?”
When he said it, it sounded reasonable, but his expression was a little unnatural. Seeing him like this, Song Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Are you going alone?” Song Yi suddenly thought of something: “The class leader won’t accompany you?”
“If he accompanies me, I’ll have to do a full body check by the end.” Duan Jiayan sighed as he recalled something: “The last time I caught a cold. He made it feel like I was going to enter the ICU and made such a fuss.”
Song Yi thought to himself, ‘You are really in the midst of happiness and don’t even realize it.’
“Then let’s go together? I’ll call Shen Chilie?” Song Yi said, “You can go get it checked out before going to play.”
It was a little crowded at the central hospital on weekends. Fortunately, Duan Jiayan had made an appointment early. Examination of the glands was a simple process, and it didn’t take him much time to complete the examination.
The medical report showed that his glands had matured. Fortunately, because his stress disorder has been soothed well in the past two years, within three years, his stress disorder would also gradually recover.
“Son,” Shen Chilie suggested a crooked idea from the side: “Would you like to hide this report first?”
Duan Jiayan was confused: “Why?”
“It’s both harmful and beneficial if the glands are not well developed. If Lu Xingci knew your physical condition, aishh…” Shen Chilie stopped talking and said slowly, “I think your situation is quite dangerous.”
“Don’t worry about just being blind, he is completely letting the class leader do whatever he wants.”
Song Yi interjected: “Last time at the monitor’s birthday, he was drunk and asked him to stay, and Xiao Duan stayed at his house for the night without saying a word.”
“Don’t always follow him.” Shen Chilie frowned when he heard this: “Lu Xingci, If he likes you, he may not be able to control his instincts. To tell you the truth, an alpha is the best at measuring things, and sometimes I feel that some of my thoughts are quite scary.”
Duan Jiayan snorted and smiled at Shen Chilie: “For example, say, do you occasionally have the urge to grind your teeth and wag your tail?”
Shen Chilie: “…”
The day before his birthday, Duan Jiayan received a message from Fu Yuan.
The other party asked him to go home after school, as she’d sent a birthday gift to the house.
After studying for the evening, Duan Jiayan returned home.
The warm yellow light illuminated the ground, and he took two steps forward, just in time to see Fu Yuan coming out of the kitchen with tableware and chopsticks.
Seeing her, Duan Jiayan froze in surprise: “Mom, why are you here?”
“Happy birthday, Ah-ye.” Fu Yuan noticed the expression on his face and smiled: “I thought about it, since I will be going back tomorrow to spend time with my friends, I wanted to come here today to celebrate your birthday with you.”
Duan Jiayan’s eyes swept across the dining table, and several carefully cooked dishes were placed on it.
Realizing what Fu Yuan gave him as a gift, his heart softened, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly: “Thank you, Mom.”
Fu Yuan nudged his shoulder: “It’s been a long time since I cooked for you, you try it. Taste it and see if my craftsmanship has improved.”
Sitting at the dining table, Duan Jiayan chatted with Fu Yuan while eating.
He wasn’t actually very hungry, but Fu Yuan came from Haicheng specifically for this purpose, and so Duan Jiayan tasted every dish.
“I saw the medical examination report you put on the sofa. Fortunately, your glands did not suffer from any lasting effects, and you are a healthy adult now.”
Before Duan Jiayan could speak, Fu Yuan continued: “I heard from Teacher Zhao, how have you been doing in class recently? In the test, your results can be considered good, right?”
Duan Jiayan nodded.
“It’s amazing.” Fu Yuan smiled and said, “If you keep going with this momentum and work harder next semester, you should be able to get into a good university in the end.”
Duan Jiayan sighed: “I did well in the exam recently, probably only because of the difference in the subject topics.”
Fu Yuan comforted him: “That’s not too bad. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just study hard.”
After eating, Fu Yuan simply cleaned up and went to bed.
Her flight was scheduled early in the morning, and she had to go back to Haicheng for a meeting in the afternoon. Duan Jiayan slept in a daze till the morning, and vaguely felt that Fu Yuan came to the door of the room to watch him for a while.
When he was woken up by the alarm clock, it was already ten o’clock sharp.
Duan Jiayan opened his phone and saw that many people had sent him birthday wishes.
Song Yi’s message was sent at twelve o’clock: [Happy birthday! I wish you and your class leader can go to an ideal university together. Ten years later, we sisters will come to see you in your palace. ]
Shen Chilie: [Son, happy adulthood. Dad sincerely warns you that when you are an adult, you must pay attention to safety. ]
Duan Jiayan read for a long time before he understood Shen Chilie’s meaning, and he rolled back in tears. (Of laughter)
After replying, Duan Jiayan continued to scroll down. Chen Yue was very sincere and sent him a large red envelope: [Mr. Duan, happy adulthood. ]
Zhou Xingchen’s news followed closely: [Chen Yue said he gave you 1800, is it true or false? ]
Duan Jiayan smiled and replied with the truth, and after a while, Zhou Xingchen’s red envelope was also sent: [Happy birthday Duan Duan! ! ]
Hei Pi: [Happy birthday brother, work hard for the college entrance examination.]
Guo Zirui: [Brother Duan! ! Happy birthday! ! I wish you and sister-in-law a hundred years of harmony! ! ]
Guo Zirui: [Wrong, wrong, I apologize, I wish you and that handsome man a hundred years of harmony. ]
…
Scrolling to the end, he also saw Gu Li’s message: [Go on to work hard for the college entrance examination, and have a good time with Brother Lu! ]
Duan Jiayan read them all one by one, till he received a message from Lu Xingci: [Are you awake? ]
He and Lu Xing had decided to take it easy. On his birthday, they would go to have lunch first, watch a movie in the afternoon, and if they still had energy in the evening, they would go to a newly opened shooting gallery to play.
As soon as Duan Jiayan woke up, Lu Xingci’s message came quickly: [“I’m downstairs at your house. Wear thicker clothes, the temperature is very low today. ]
Duan Jiayan got up from the bed.
He pulled his slippers on and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, leaned slightly to look out, and sure enough, there was a familiar figure downstairs.
After watching for a while, he ran to the bathroom to wash up.
When Duan Jiayan went downstairs, Lu Xingci was standing under the street lamp in front of the door, looking down at his phone.
He was wearing a black coat and his figure was tall and straight. Hearing Duan Jiayan’s footsteps, Lu Xingci raised his head.
His slim and elegant eyes were dark and with his face handsome, he ha a clean look overall.
Duan Jiayan looked at him for a moment, then jumped over in two or three steps and hung onto him.
“It’s my birthday today.” He didn’t realize it himself, but when talking to Lu Xingci, there was a small smile in his eyes.
Lu Xingci lowered his eyes, reached out and affectionately rubbed his head: “Happy birthday.”
“It’s your turn to be my lick dog.” Duan Jiayan reminded him: “Lu Dog.”
“Then,” Lu Xingci paused and smiled: “Happy birthday to you*?
[TN: Respectful ‘you’]
Duan Jiayan nodded with satisfaction.
He got off Lu Xingci and asked casually, “What should we do first?”
Although he knew today’s itinerary, the specific location was to be chosen by Lu Xingci. The latter glanced at him and suddenly asked, “Are you hungry?”
Duan Jiayan responded.
“Then let’s eat first.”
After lunch, they went to see a newly released sci-fi movie.
Probably because he slept for a long time last night, Duan Jiayan was in good spirits that day. When he came out of the shooting hall in the evening, he turned his head and asked, “Am I awesome?”
“Awesome.” Lu Xingci sincerely praised: “I’ve never seen someone who is so handsome when he misses the target.”
“…” Duan Jiayan: “That’s because I rarely play this kind of shooting game. When I play for a few more times, I’ll definitely be slick like you.”
Lu Xingci nodded: “Wait for you to play a few more times. Next, the coach of the provincial shooting team should come to sign you.”
Duan Jiayan was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help laughing: “Brother Lu.”
He smiled and lowered his head to take a sip of hot milk tea, because he was biting the straw, Duan Jiayan’s voice was a little vague: “Where are we going in a while?”
“I’ll give you a gift.”
Duan Jiayan’s eyes widened, somewhat surprised.
He thought that the birthday gift the other party gave him was the perfect date on this day, and he didn’t think there was anything else to give him.
When approaching the destination, Duan Jiayan looked out of the car window. People were coming and going at Nanshan Square. The grand musical fountain is glimmere, filled with colorful lights.
Nanshan Square was the most prosperous business district in Ning City. The previous New Year’s Eve, they spent it here in Nanshan.
Duan Jiayan teased: “Are you going to take me to see the fireworks?”
Lu Xingci smiled and shook his head.
Getting out of the car, Duan Jiayan raised his head and looked around. This was the most high-end residential area in Nanshan, and the prices rocketed to the sky. He remembered that He Cheng had also wanted to buy a house in Nanshan, but he could only buy a house a block away.
He followed Lu Xingci to the elevator.
Upon entering the door, it could be seen that the huge apartment was spacious, the whole house seemed to have just been renovated, and there was no trace of anyone living here.
“My parents gave me this apartment for my birthday last month.” Lu Xingci took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and motioned for him to put them on.
When Duan Jiayan came in, Lu Xingci spread out his hand, and placed the key that opened the door in his palm: “Happy birthday, this is a gift for you.”
Duan Jiayan was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, Duan Jiayan looked at the key that had been handed over to him, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, “Brother Lu, this birthday present seems a little too expensive?”
He saw that he wanted to return the key and said: ” You should take the key. I don’t usually come here, so it’s useless to keep it. If I want to come and play occasionally, I’ll ask you to get the key.”
Lu Xing smiled, and put the key back in his hand .
He did not continue to push and pull with him, but simply pointed out: “I said in my second year of high school, that in the future, I will share whatever I have with you.”
Duan Jiayan opened his mouth but nothing came out. He could only listen.
“My parents were the ones that gave this house, and it’s not what I earned myself.”
Lu Xingci saw that he was speechless, and smiled: “In the future, I will use the money I earn to give you more things.”
Duan Jiayan was quiet for a while, and honestly said: “You make me feel like I can be a salted fish from now on.”
“That’s not too bad.”
“…”
Lu Xingci looked at him for a few seconds: “I’ll work harder so that you can happily do what you really want to do.”
“Then, won’t you be very tired everyday?.”
Knowing that the other party is a character who does what he says, Duan Jiayan paused, earnestly he said, “The burden of life cannot be on you alone. We can share it.”
But the other party replied: “I also have selfish reasons behind doing this.”
Looking at him thinking for himself, the corners of Lu Xingci’s lips twitched, jokingly, he said: “When you get used to it, won’t you be unable to leave me?”
Duan Jiayan was silent for a while, and his words were filled with helplessness: “You are really…”
Even though his mannerism when speaking was quite gentle, it was obvious that he was still the same at his core.
Untamed and explicit possessiveness, but expressed in this way, it made a person unable to resist.
Before Duan Jiayan could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly felt heavier, and his brain felt like electricity was running through it.
In a trance, he breathed in the smell of his own pheromones. The scent was like damp mist, immediately spreading around.
Probably because the glands have matured, at this time his body’s response was stronger than ever. His estrus period had indeed been due for the last few days.
He thought that since it was already so late in the day, that there should be no accidents. Unexpectedly…
Duan Jiayan blinked, and his breathing began to become irregular.
Lu Xingci also noticed his change.
“There is an inhibitor in the bedside table in the master bedroom.”
Lu Xingci glanced away, not looking at him, his voice was already hoarse: “Are you able to go by yourself?”
Duan Jiayan nodded.
He quickly walked into the master bedroom, and as Lu Xingci had said, he found the inhibitor.
His body was getting hotter. Duan Jiayan’s hands trembled a little. Reluctantly, he took off the cap and pressed the thin needle against the skin of his wrist.
When the needle was just about to go in, Duan Jiayan paused.
He was an adult.
Some untoward thoughts slipped into his mind, making him realize that there is another way to solve the current situation, Duan Jiayan’s thoughts froze, and suddenly his mouth was dry.
He hesitated for a moment, then threw the inhibitor back into the drawer.
Lu Xingci stood in the living room for a long time, waiting for Duan Jiayan’s pheromone to dissipate.
However the fragrant flower fragrance did not decrease but instead increased.
The alpha instinct was constantly tearing at his sanity, and the impulse to plunder and possess was churning in his blood. He closed his eyes helplessly, if it wasn’t for the wrong time, he would have asked Duan Jiayan what he was thinking of doing.
While irritable, he heard some chaotic footsteps.
Lu Xingci raised his eyes, saw Duan Jiayan walking out, and said in surprise, “You…”
Duan Jiayan walked out of the master bedroom and saw the alpha in the living room, almost on the verge of losing control.
His eyes were red, and his cheeks were burning with an abnormal flush. Duan Jiayan reluctantly stood on the spot, forcing himself to maintain his sanity: “I didn’t take the inhibitor.”
Hearing him say this directly, Lu Xingci’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes darkened unexplainably.
“Do you want to…” Duan Jiayan paused halfway, and then boldly asked him: “Lu Xingci, come here.”
Unlike most omegas of his age, he’s wasn’t shy at all in the face of his instincts.
Duan Jiayan squinted his eyes, he couldn’t stand up anymore, his legs were weak and he was about to fall to the ground.
As he was about to kneel down, someone reached out and hugged him.
The citrus scent of lemon spread out, like the cold deep sea.
Lu Xingci held Duan Jiayan’s face with one hand, looked at the peach-like color on the latter’s face, and asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t you use an inhibitor?”
Duan Jiayan opened his mouth.
He was already a little delirious, staring at the alpha in front of him in a straightforward manner, his amber eyes seemed to be filled with mist.
“Because I don’t want to.”
He smiled, and Lu Xingci listened carefully, only to hear him whisper: “You don’t want to either.”
Friends who only knew half-truths persuaded him not to be too accustomed to Lu Xing gentleness, telling him that everything can’t be based on the other party’s temperament, so pampering the alpha without any bottom line may cause a big problem.
But he loved him so much, he loved him beyond words.
I want to satisfy him.
I also want to be close to him.
“I had an examination a few days ago, and the glands have grown well.” Duan Jiayan put his hand around Lu Xingci’s shoulder and kissed him. The latter seemed to be stimulated and chased back and forth to kiss him even deeper.
For the first time, Duan Jiayan knew that A/O’s instincts could be terrifying to such an extent if not suppressed.
The desire to surrender dragged him down, and the omega’s self-protective nature was clamoring to escape.
When they parted, Duan Jiayan resisted the urge to retreat, and gave Lu Xingci the greatest permission:
“Whatever you want, do whatever you want.”
